HelpWe’ve been working on this breakfast box for quite some time now… It’s worth noting that while exploring all these gourmet regions over the past few years to create our regional boxes for you, we’ve tasted some real gems that pair perfectly with this morning meal! In this special breakfast box, you’ll find a small selection of the finest delicacies from all the small artisans we’ve met throughout France in recent years: some truly delightful culinary moments in store to start your day off right!
Artisan chocolatier: L’Atelier, Laurent Kerdoncuff
Do you prefer a hot drink to start your day?
In his“atelier,”Laurent and his team craft chocolate with passion, overseeing the entire supply chain from cocoa beans to the creation of their chocolate nuggets. They source their beans exclusively from fair-trade and organic producers and, from there, handle the entire chocolate-making process—from roasting to transforming the beans into delicious chocolates—which is extremely rare in the world of chocolate.
To create this unique and delicate infusion, Laurent combines cocoa bark and nibs (pieces of roasted cocoa beans) to enhance the aromas of this delicate infusion, which contains neither theine nor caffeine. The Aztecs and Incas already consumed the husk of roasted cacao beans as an infusion. It is still consumed in Peru and Ecuador, often with honey added.
Preparation tip: To make this unique chocolate-flavored infusion—which is actually prepared just like tea ("t*"), bring your water to 85°C, steep for 3 minutes, and you’ll enjoy a refined beverage with notes of cacao and well-known antioxidant, anti-stress, and anti-inflammatory benefits. You can also brew your cacao t with plant-based milk. What a great way to start the day!
Artisan producer: La Ferme Bio de Margerie.
Do you prefer fruit juice for breakfast?
On the Valence Plain, La Ferme Bio de Margerie spans several hectares, where they grow organic fruit to create their renowned fruit juices. With no focus on mass production, they’ve been pioneers for over 30 years in producing 100% organic pure juices with no additives—simply by pressing the fruit—to preserve the nutritional qualities of these sun-drenched southern fruits. The “L’étonnant à la pomme” is an absolutely delicious 100% organic pure apple juice. It will awaken your taste buds before you continue with your breakfast…
Artisanal jam maker: Les Confitures de Raphaël, creator of artisanal jams.
The story of Les Confitures de Raphaël is a wonderful human adventure—just the kind we love at La Gourmet Box.
It began when Raphaël returned to Saint-Malo to live with his grandparents. Deaf but blessed with a contagious smile, he discovered the art of jam-making and transformed the family kitchen into a small workshop, supported by the local community and his grandmother’s kind guidance. He developed a unique technique that reduces cooking time to preserve the fruit’s freshness.
In 2005, his brother Cédric joined him, and together they established their workshop in Saint-Coulomb in Ille-et-Vilaine. Even today, their method remains true to its roots: carefully selected fruit, copper pots, and the artisanal expertise that has made their jams famous.
We’ve chosen a simple yet truly well-crafted flavor, made almost exclusively with the “L’Abricot Rouge du Roussillon” variety. This sweet and fragrant variety offers incomparable flavor qualities that you’ll discover when you taste it.
Artisan Jam Maker: Les Confitures de Raphaël, Creator of Artisanal Jams.
For this second jam in our breakfast box, our artisan uses a very aromatic and slightly tart variety of raspberries from Brittany or the Vendée region: you’ll enjoy it by the spoonful, on a slice of toast, and of course as an accompaniment to the cookies in your breakfast box!
Artisan Cookie Maker: Biscuiterie Jeannette, Normandy’s oldest cookie factory
Biscuiterie Jeannette tells the story of a Normandy-based cookie shop founded in 1850 that weathered wars, bombings, and shortages to offer us today an assortment of treats perfect for starting the day off right.
Its century-old expertise has been recognized by the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label since 2017.
We’ll start with a mini cake made with rich Isigny AOP butter: plain or with a dab of jam, you’re in for a treat to kick off your day.
Artisan cookie maker: Biscuiterie Jeannette, Normandy’s oldest cookie shop
And we couldn’t resist its chocolate version, generously studded with tiny chocolate chips, to round out our breakfast box…
Artisan baker: Biscuiterie Jeannette, Normandy’s oldest cookie shop
Next up is a small madeleine, one of the house’s signature specialties, with a hint of raspberry—a flavor that those with a sweet tooth can enhance with a bit of the raspberry jam included in your breakfast box!
Artisan Baker: Biscuiterie Jeannette, Normandy’s oldest cookie shop
And now, let’s move on to the financier, a traditional French cake whose shape resembles a small gold ingot—hence its name... Made with almond flour, soft on the inside and slightly crispy around the edges, it’s a true delight!
Artisan Baker: Atelier D, Artisanal Breton Cookie Shop, Delphine Vannoote
And since we refuse to take sides in that never-ending debate over which is superior—the art of Breton or Norman cookie-making (or the art of cider, etc.)— we invite you to savor—after a few Norman delicacies—a great classic of Breton artisanal expertise in the art of baking, with a touch of originality and crafted by an excellent artisan who does truly outstanding work: pure butter galettes and palets, of course, but with a few chunks of salted butter caramel—a little treat!
Artisan: Le Craquelin, Artisanal Pastry and Chocolate Shop, Angéline Bonelli and Anthony Grangy.
Anthony and Angéline’s initial idea for their cereal bars was to create healthy snacks for their children—a far cry from ultra-processed supermarket products. Seeing how enthusiastic their friends and family were, they decided to become artisans—much to our delight. Each bar contains only simple ingredients, and the recipe has been approved by a nutritionist and dietitian. It’s healthy, but what’s more… it tastes great, of course!
If you don’t have time today to sit down for a proper breakfast—which is a shame, of course—just grab one of their bars: a little burst of energy to get you through the day!
Artisan Chocolatier: Unparalleled Secrets.
A former chef, pastry chef, and sommelier at Michelin-starred restaurants, Xavier Michel’s passion for the product led him to create truly exceptional spreads in Burgundy, crafted with respect for unique artisanal expertise, free of palm oil, and even free of any vegetable oils or preservatives.
To craft his gourmet chocolate spreads, Xavier uses PIEMONT IGP hazelnuts (over 40%...), these magnificent, world-renowned hazelnuts, which undergo two processes that bring out their best: caramelization in a copper cauldron for an intense praline flavor, and the addition of a creamy hazelnut Gianduja blended with real melted milk chocolate to give the spread a unique, natural creaminess. Enhanced with a pinch of Guérande Fleur de Sel IGP, this is a true chocolate gem we invite you to discover...
Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll find it extremely hard to stop...
Artisan chocolatier: Les Bocaux à Papa, an artisanal organic cannery run by Pierre and Julien.
We needed a smooth, creamy texture to round out this hearty breakfast. Here’s one last little treat for you. Pierre and Julien couldn’t find any Angers-grown cacao beans, but they took care to prepare their homemade chocolate cream using cacao from the gold standard in organic and fair-trade chocolate: Kaoka.
Made with local whole milk, it’s once again incredibly smooth and delicious, with a magnificent creaminess that only the finest cream can provide. Grab your spoons!
as always, the Gourmet Box doesn’t overlook the details that make all the difference: small bamboo spoons, a paper napkin, and the option to personalize your breakfast box with a little note for the recipient...
We have our new gourmet gift boxes tested by independent reviewers (we don’t pay them! We just send them one of our boxes), who specialize in the world of gourmet gift boxes, to get outside opinions (we, of course, would give ourselves a 10/10 every time...) and to showcase our latest gourmet baskets—because we’re proud of them, and we have to be open to criticism…
The results of the review of our sweet gourmet box on the LaBoxduMois website: very enthusiastic feedback!
